“…Prolonged work hours amid high stress and uncertainty during the pandemic, coupled with factors such as changing nursing unit locations and increased workloads, have been observed to accelerate the experience of burnout among nurses [ 28 ]. The adverse working conditions during the pandemic have, in turn, increased nurses’ intentions to migrate to developed countries where they anticipate finding more ideal and supportive working environments [ 27 ]. In recent years, there has been an increase in the migration of nurses worldwide, driven by factors such as political and economic reasons, concerns about the future, employment issues, and the desire for professional development [ 35 , 36 ].…”

“…These unfavorable conditions are identified as a significant factor leading to a projected surge in the number of nurses migrating abroad for better working conditions in the near future [ 26 ]. The existing shortage of nurses compels healthcare professionals to work extended hours, potentially driving nurses to consider leaving the country [ 26 , 27 ]. A substantial proportion of nurses in Turkey are contemplating working in other countries [ 23 , 26 ].…”

Background The happiness and hopefulness of nurses are not only known that contribute to their emotional well-being but also professional creativity, improve the quality of nursing services and organizational performance. Therefore, knowing which factors affect nurses’ mental well-being and future expectations can provide information for nursing workforce planning policies. This study was conducted to determination of Nurses’ happiness, hope, and future expectations and the factors influencing them. Method 326 nurses from 52 provinces of Turkey participated in this descriptive study. The data collection instruments included a Demographic Characteristics Form and questions from the Turkish Statistical Institute’s Life Satisfaction Survey to assess overall happiness, hope, and expectation levels. The study data was collected using an e-survey prepared through Google Forms in line with the principle of voluntarism. In the study adhered to the EQUATOR checklist for descriptive studies. Results The average scores for overall happiness, hope, and future expectations among the participating nurses were found to be 2.34 ± 0.98, 2.22 ± 0.95, and 1.26 ± 0.54, respectively. It was determined that the levels of happiness, hope, and future expectations of nurses are influenced by satisfaction with income, income’s ability to meet needs, and personal development over the last five years. Conclusion The study concluded that the overall happiness and hope levels of nurses are low, while their future expectations are at a moderate level. Satisfaction with income affects the happiness and hope levels of nurses. Three quarters of the nurses participating in the study want to work abroad. This situation may lead to a need for qualified nurses in the future.

“…While the Philippine government instituted policies to address the shortage of nurses, some of these policies have been met with criticism and frustration ( Alibudbud, 2022 ; Ortiga et al, 2022 ). These policies include deployment bans to restrict nurses from seeking higher-paying opportunities abroad despite their low wages and delayed benefit disbursement ( Alibudbud, 2022 ; Ortiga et al, 2022 ).…”

Burnout among Filipino nurses poses a significant threat to an understaffed Philippine healthcare system, leading to resignations, change of profession, and migration to other countries, thereby exacerbating the shortage in the local nursing sector. While workplace mental health programs and interventions can help alleviate burnout, it is crucial to address the structural factors contributing to burnout among Filipino nurses, such as low salaries, delayed benefits, understaffing, overwork, and job insecurity. Therefore, mobilizing existing resources and improving policies are critical steps that need to be taken to effectively address burnout among nurses. Measures such as increasing salaries, timely provision of benefits, and filling vacant government regular positions can contribute to improving the working conditions for nurses in the Philippines. Moreover, by undertaking these measures, the Philippines can advance just working and living conditions for nurses, while also mitigating the challenges posed by the shortage of nurses within its healthcare system.

“…As shown earlier, most nurses who continue to work in public hospitals are between the ages of 31 and 40. A study written by Ortiga et al ( 2022 ) exhibits the dissatisfaction of new nurses when the professional values they acquire in school conflict with their work. On the other hand, nurses aged 41 and above are scarce because health-related conditions, digitalization, and hours of work are prominent issues experienced by nurses, as stated by Uthaman et al ( 2016 ).…”

Background: The World Health Organization estimates that between 80,000 and 180,000 medical personnel perished as a result of COVID-19. Although studies about nurses’ organizational commitment during the COVID-19 pandemic have been conducted, the sources of motivations and resilience strategies of nurses in providing a quality healthcare service amidst the COVID-19 pandemic have yet to be explored. Objective: This study aimed to investigate how motivation and resilience influence nurses to serve and cater to patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A sequential exploratory mixed approach was used in this study between July and August 2022. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivations scale (WEIMS), and Garbee and Killacky’s Intent to Stay Scale (GKISS) were used to measure resilience, motivation, and intention to stay, among 50 nurses within Metro Manila. Quantitative data were analyzed using quantile regression, while qualitative data from eight participants were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: The majority of the nurses were working 12 hours and above (52%) and earning a bi-weekly income of PHP 15,001 to 20,000 (96%). The GKISS scores of most respondents indicated their likelihood of remaining in their current profession was moderately low (Mdn = 12.5; IQR = 12-14). It was also found that there was no sufficient statistical evidence to conclude that intention to stay was associated with resilience (p = 0.914) and work motivation (p = 0.560). The qualitative strand of this study explored the significant influences of motivation, resilience strategies, and sources of intention to stay among Filipino nurses while facing the COVID-19 pandemic. The primary motivations of nurses lie in family, passion for work, and career development, while the resilience strategies include adaptiveness, time management skills, and self-fulfillments. On the other hand, the intent to stay greatly lies in serving the people and the country. Conclusion: This study concludes that positive and negative resilience and motivations from different facets of the social life of Filipino nurses, including passion, familial ties, patient care, and faith are the antecedents influencing the intention to serve in the healthcare service. In terms of staying for an extended period in a nursing career, the study found that institutionalized interventions, adequate compensation and benefits, and a good workplace are determinants of staying longer in the Philippines as Filipino nurses.
